It's been three months since Lyla, Aveline, and Ari's adventure rescuing the kidnapped princes and princesses in Diviel, and Lyla couldn't be more content. Her kingdom has welcomed her back with open arms, and she is free to travel the ocean as she wishes with Apreuna's cheeky new emissaries Ari and Aveline. But not everyone is enjoying palace life; Aveline and Ari are growing impatient with the royal balls, luxurious attires and restricting lifestyles of the upper-class. So when a new, albeit odd assignment opens up in the colorful Eastern kingdom of Verignes, they jump at the chance to get away. But when strange things start happening, they realize that something dark is lurking underneath the ostentatious ways of the kingdom- and Lyla, Ari, and Aveline are determined to figure out just what it is. In the next installment of the Kings and Thieves series, Lyla and her pirates must face the threat of new enemies with old friends as they struggle to protect the innocent inhabitants of their world - people and creatures alike. beautiful cover by @-inhumaneity !!

The beautiful island kingdoms of the Detache Ocean have been flourishing for eight hundred and seventy years. Ari and Aveline, two lawless pirates, have been happily robbing every one of them for about five. But Lyla Quincy, the daughter of the Grand Duchess of Apreuna, has been stuck in her own kingdom for almost two decades - and she wants out. She's about to get her chance. Young princes and princesses all over the kingdoms are vanishing in the night, and no one can figure out where they have gone. When the Queen of Apreuna asks notorious thieves Ari and Aveline for help, everyone is shocked. And Lyla wants to find the royals too- but when she tags along on an adventure with a pirate gang of criminals, she might uncover more secrets than she bargained for. **** Adventure, Fantasy, Romance ❤️ cover by the amazingly talented @RadharaniBhattacarya

The sea isn't safe. Only the bravest and strongest become sailors. Luminescent mermaids roam the depths and the shallows, mouthing words no one can hear, never surfacing. Raised all his life in an island fishing village, bookish Emerson Kadwell has always been warned away from the shore. But an infant memory of a song and the lapping of waves continually draw him. When Emerson finds a mermaid stranded in an isolated part of the shoreline, the truth about his past and hers will change his world forever. A luminescent mermaid. A bookish inventor. A terrible truth. Shallows is a clean YA fantasy novel with elements of paranormal and romance. It is the first in a series. --- NOTE: NOW THAT THIS NOVEL IS AVAILABLE ON KINDLE, I CAN ONLY LEAVE A SAMPLE AMOUNT HERE ON WATTPAD. Thanks for understanding and I hope you enjoy!
